If you interested in the lab’s research, please check out recent publications and think about a project that fits with the lab’s scientific focus (some ideas here). Make sure to read this page about my vision on supervision and academic values (and the rest of the lab wiki), and think about the mentorship style that suits you.
PhD / postdoc
I’m always interested in discussing project ideas for PhD or postdoc candidates. However, you need grant or fellowship funding. As is typical in Europe, PhD students are mostly allocated to already-funded projects.
If you’d like to work with me, please send me (i) your CV including references, (ii) a motivation letter including ideas for a research direction or project, and (iii) options for funding such you’d like to apply for. If it is a good fit, I will collaborate on your research plan and write a letter of support.
A running list of useful funding opportunities is on the lab wiki. See here for an older list of postdoctoral fellowship programmes; many are specifically from students from Brazil, China, India or Portugal, or for Dutch MSc graduates with a non-western background. This page offers useful links for postdoc support at Leiden University.
MSc / BSc / BA
If you’re a student at Leiden University, or want to visit as an exchange student, please send me (i) your CV, including information about your study program and your experience in programming and data analysis, (ii) when and how long you’d like to do a project, (iii) letter of motivation: what topics interest you, and what project would you be interested in (see here for inspiration).
You can get in touch here.
